Does anyone have any information regarding the logistics of rendering 800+ million videos like this for each user on Facebook? I'm pretty sure it's not rendered on the fly.

I'm part of the team that built this which came from different parts of FB. I think we'll be getting some much needed rest after today, then I hope we can start telling the story of how we built it.

How long did it take to process?

Also, is there a reason the video becomes unavailable on /lookback after the first time you watch it? Damn near broke my heart when it vanished... had to get it back from cache.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I don't think it makes a difference. I've been on Facebook since 2004 and have about 950 photos and videos.

what are your privacy settings? I think that is the big differentiator.

You may be on to something. I have turned off Platform (and so no applications work for me), and have set almost all other things to Friends only. All I get is six recent photos.

Will we be able to create a new video again? I deleted pics out of my album because I forgot they were even there and then the video disappeared and all I get is the thank you one...GREAT JOB though, what a wonderful idea. I have enjoyed so many people's videos

Ok that's probably what happened to me. After I viewed the video, I deleted some pics in my albums and I'm afraid it affected the video... and I would actually like to request for a new video.... please? Thank you!

The same as me :( theres no way to recover it?
